| ask, is there any justice in giving
these men seven votes to nv one,
to impose tax on me, when.
have all the burden to bear and
they none? But Mr.. Miles, of
Frankfort, who has become quite
writer, and who talks SO justly
kind in his endeavors to right
everything that is going wrong,
says, Frankfort voted all the men
and boys, black and white" on
the railroad question. And pro-
poses three cheers for Bourbon
county, who, he thinks, did the
same thing. The writer voted
neither for.or against the railroad
tax, and gives the seven men on
his place credit for remaining away
from the polls, where they had no
right, in equity. to be, and that,
too, when he had never mentioned
the question to them. The people
Of Taylor county are now in great
distress over railroad tax, voted
in this same way, and are unable
to pay. The people all over Ken
lucky are in deep sympathy with
them. The United States Marshal,
detailed to make the levy and sale.
regrets exceedingly the comnls
sion he has undertaken, and b-gs
to Be excused.
The policy of allowing non
property holders to vote tax,
if much INDUCED in. would ruin
any country. And while l realize
that there are no immediate pros.
poets for the adoption of such a
policy as suggested ABOVE, the
time may come when We, in Frank
lin county. may feel the CALLING
yoke now worn by the poor people
of Taylor county, and which was
brought about by just such indis-
erection. Read the article headed
